The Height OF Luxury.

I asked her, one day, how it was that
her gloves always so perfectly matched
her gowns, this being matter in which
a toilet is too often faulty. She told
me that whenever she got new cos
tune, a new dinner gown, or a new
ball dress, she always sent off piece
of the material to her glover, and Or
dered half dozen or dozen pairs of
gloves to match. That is a good plan,
is it not? The gloves always come
home in long box, and on the top of
this Madeline writes the name of the
dress, "tan and green" or "black and
silver" as the case may be, so that she
need not open three or four in order to
find the exact pair she wants.

4 SINGULAR fnEsEN1inEy-

a peculiar coincidence connected
with the killing of Capt. Wynn was
told us by an old veteran who followed
him from the beginning of the war
until he was shot down at the battle of
Gettysburg. Capt. Wynn had fire.
quently made use Of the remark that
"the bullet had not been nodded that
was to lay him low," and so often had
he done this that his wife-a most esti-
mable lady, then living in this city
conceded fully with him in his belief.
One morning, however, the day after
the fight at Gettysburg, she entered the
parlor, where upon the wall had hung
handsome oil painting of her husband.
AS she glanced up she was horror.
stricken on seeing that the painting
had fallen from the wall, and in doing
so the face had been pierced by chair
post, which stood beneath where it had
hung. Rushing from the house she
went at once to neighbor and related
the occurrence, adding that she firmly
believed the Captain had been killed
in the fight of the day previous. Her
presentiment was only too true, for on
the arrival of the train an hour after
ward news of the battle was brought
and among the first names in the list of
those killed was that of her gallant
husband. The strangest feature about
the killing, however, was that he had
been shot in the face and in the idenSi-
cal spot where the chair post had
pierced the canvas an hour before

The Apple Of oar Eye.

And why, let me ask, should a
woman take it so seriously to heart if
her brain do weigh five ounces less than
q mans? So do her feet! And so do
her hands. But if she makes it up on
her heart nobody thinks the worse of
her for it. Really, think it is selfish
of woman to want the most and best
of everything. She has the majority
of the good looks in the world, and of
the good times, too, I'll warrant; and it
is quite her own fault if she does not
get the majority Of all the love. She
has the prettiest clothes and she gets
the most candy, and she has roses and
violets heaped upon her from years
end to years end-if she is good and
lucky.-Graphic.

Chinese Marriages.

They never have any breach-of-prom-
Use cases in China. A future Chinese
belle is not three days old before her
parents have betrothcd her to some &C.
ceptable scion of neighbours house.
When she is old enough-and she does
not have to be very old; if she were in
England she would be still playing
with her doll-she goes to the house of
her af1ianced and marries him. She
weeps and walls all the way there, as if
her idea Of matrimony were not exactly
cheerful one. There is always mourn
ing at Chinese marriage, while at q
Chinese funeral there is always band
of music and rejoicing.
